At UCL our transport work focuses on bringing
positive impact to people’s quality of life. This
includes all aspects of transport: sustainability,
safety, accessibility, promotion of health and
wellbeing, equitability, and efficiency. We have
a particular interest in policy, as governance

Specialist testing facilities:
PAMELA is a multisensory laboratory for
the assessment of pedestrian movement,
specialising in transport environments. This
multidisciplinary centre allows full-scale models
to be built and tested in a safe but realistic
manner. The image left shows the testing of
a tube train layout, with people simulating the
boarding and alighting of the carriage.

decision-making framework and model for
EUROCONTROL, the European air traffic
management organisation, to help evaluate
and select technological enhancements
to the European air traffic management
system.
• UCL helped the Arizona Department of
Transport include meteorological factors
in their environmental noise modelling,
leading to new guidelines and designs in
freeway noise barrier design.
